The RobecoSAM Global SDG Engagement Equities strategy combines active management with active ownership to engage with every one of its 35 portfolio holdings. It aims to improve the contribution that investee companies can make to one or more of the 17 SDGs over three to five years. In this way it looks for companies that are work-in-progress rather than already being ‘over ready’.

We explain how it all works, including a full guide to the SDGs, the engagement process, and an interview with the strategy’s managers, in our new brochure: ‘The Introductory Guide to SDG Engagement Equities’. So, don’t miss the full inside story on a truly innovative product.
